Question 1 of 3

What are you surfacing?

Tar and chip road between dry stone walls
Our speciality

Why tar & chip?

The classic English country finish, and the best-value surface for long drives, farm roads and private lanes.

  • Natural look

    Golden, grey or red stone to suit Cotswold stone, brick or timber.

  • Superb grip

    Textured chippings give good traction for cars, tractors and horses.

  • Great value

    Usually costs less per m² than tarmac or resin on large areas.

  • Easy to refresh

    You can re-dress over the top instead of digging it all up.

How it works

Four steps

  1. 01

    Free survey

    We measure, check levels and drainage, and agree finishes with you.

  2. 02

    Dig out & sub-base

    Excavation, membrane and a compacted stone base built for your traffic.

  3. 03

    Surfacing laid

    Tar and chip, tarmac or another finish is laid and rolled.

  4. 04

    Tidy handover

    Edges finished, the site swept, and aftercare explained.

The exact steps depend on your site. We confirm them at the survey.

Reviews

What customers say

Our 200-metre drive looks fantastic — golden chippings that suit the house perfectly. Tidy, punctual and great value.
JJames H.Cirencester · Tar & Chip Driveway
The lorries can finally get into the yard all winter without getting stuck. Proper job, built to take a beating.
SSarah P.Leominster · Farm Track
They sorted the slope and drainage before laying the resin. It looks stunning and no more puddles by the door.
MMark & Julie T.Malvern · Resin Bound Driveway
Resurfaced our business car park over a weekend so we didn't lose a day of trading. Lines crisp and the finish is excellent.
RRichard W.Rugby · Car Park Resurfacing
Five households shared the cost and Stone Guard made it simple. Our potholed lane is now a smooth, sealed road.
HHelen B.Ross-on-Wye · Private Road
Clear quote, no surprises, and the crew cleaned up every day. The new tarmac drive has transformed the front of the house.

FAQs

Good questions

On a sound base, a well-laid tar and chip surface typically lasts many years. When it wears, it can be refreshed with a new dressing instead of being dug up. We'll give you an honest estimate for your site.
